Joseph Farrell | The A.I. Revolution: New World Order & the Transhuman Agenda | July 30, 2025
Exclusive Summary
Overview:
In a compelling discussion, Joseph Farrell critiques the trajectory of artificial intelligence (AI), transhumanism, and centralized control, framing them as components of a "beast system" designed to enforce global obedience through digital mechanisms. He warns of spiritual, psychological, and societal risks, drawing historical parallels to revolutionary movements. Below is a concise summary of the key themes from the conversation.
1. The "Beast System" and Digital Control
- Farrell asserts that global elites aim to integrate humanity into a beast system using central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), described as "corporate coupons" that can be adjusted or disabled to enforce compliance.
- This system seeks power and obedience, equated to idolatry, controlling aspects like worship, diet, and thought, with potential consequences like "death camps" for dissenters.
- Language manipulation is a key tactic, historically used by revolutionaries (e.g., Gnostics, Bolsheviks) to secure gradual compliance, akin to the "boiling frog" metaphor.
2. Transhumanism as Biodigital Convergence
- Transhumanism, rebranded as biodigital convergence, merges biological and digital systems, reducing human reason to mere data processing ("raciocination").
- Farrell contrasts this with ancient philosophers’ (e.g., Socrates, Plato) broader view of reason, encompassing creativity, emotions, and intuition, which AI cannot replicate.
- The agenda promotes a materialist "spirituality" (e.g., "internet of bodies," the "cloud") as a counterfeit of divine connection, aiming for a homogenized, classless society.
3. A Counterfeit Agenda
- Technologies like life extension or virtual immortality are a "tender for humanity," mirroring the temptation of Christ, trading obedience for benefits.
- Farrell cites St. John Chrysostom, noting mortality limits evil, warning that virtual immortality could enable infinite moral decay.
- The agenda echoes historical materialist movements (e.g., French Revolution, Bavarian Illuminati) that reject transcendence and the human soul.
4. Historical and Philosophical Roots
- Farrell traces the agenda to 18th-century "illuminated philosophy" (e.g., Erasmus Darwin, Percy Shelley) and revolutionary movements like the French Revolution and Bolshevism.
- Quoting Nesta Webster’s Secret Societies and Subversive Movements (1919-1920), he agrees that revolutions aim to strip civilization of its soul, reducing it to a "heartless machine."
- Modern Russia, he argues, is attempting to restore its soul post-Soviet era, unlike the soulless technocracy of past regimes.
5. Technology’s Dual Nature
- Farrell acknowledges technology’s benefits (e.g., his virtual pipe organ), but warns over-reliance risks losing practical knowledge, citing Asimov’s Foundation trilogy.
- He advocates analog practices like handwriting to maintain mental discipline, noting Mozart’s and Bach’s manuscripts as examples of cognitive clarity.
- Society’s shift to digital systems (e.g., ebooks, search engines) risks knowledge suppression, as seen in AI denying the plasma life hypothesis despite existing literature.
6. Psychological and Societal Impacts
- Farrell links rising mental health crises (e.g., suicides, escapism via social media) to technology’s amplification of irrationality and evil, defined as an "irrational opposition to the good."
- Transhumanist enhancements (e.g., brain implants) lack long-term studies, treating humanity as a "petri dish," similar to untested mRNA vaccines during COVID.
- Psychological bonding to AI causes mental collapses when access is removed, exacerbating societal distress.
7. The Golden Age Myth
- Farrell connects the agenda to Freemasonry and the Bavarian Illuminati’s goal of recovering a "golden age" of a classless society, as discussed in his Giza Death Star books.
- He warns this ancient high-tech civilization was morally corrupt and self-destructed, citing Carthage’s infant sacrifices as an example of its barbarity.
- Modern elites use symbols (e.g., Musk’s logos, Trump’s inauguration aesthetics) to signal this agenda, often tied to Saturnian or occult themes.
8. Resistance and Hope
- Farrell believes the agenda will fail, as past revolutionary movements have, but warns of a "trial by fire" if humanity doesn’t resist.
- Resistance involves maintaining analog systems (e.g., hard-copy books, physical currency) to preserve knowledge and societal function.
- He compares the current global system to post-Civil War Reconstruction, where labor was exploited, urging people to learn history from non-digital sources to counter narrative control.
- Hope lies in collective awakening, emphasizing that apostasy is a human choice, not divine will, and knowledge is the first step to power.
Conclusion
Farrell paints a stark picture of a materialist agenda using AI and transhumanism to control humanity, urging resistance through awareness and analog preservation. He sees hope in humanity’s ability to reject this "counterfeit" system, but warns inaction could lead to a dystopian future.
The Corbett Report | How to Leave the Cage - #SolutionsWatch | July 30, 2025
Joining us today is returning guest Etienne de la Boetie. In a follow up to "How to Present Info for Visual Learners," this time we discuss his new book, To See The Cage is to Leave It and the 25 techniques of control that it elucidates and demystifies.
We talk about how visually interesting information is a more effective tool for unlocking minds, how people can see through the techniques of indoctrination that the oligarchs use to get us to worship the state, and what a world free from the cult of statism would really look like.
